Ingredients

2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
0.5 cup balsamic vinegar
0.33 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small sweet onion, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil on high heat. Add your green beans and cook for 7-10 minutes, until tender yet crisp. Make sure you keep an eye on them so they don't get mushy.
In the meantime, grab a large bowl and whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, onion, garlic, parsley, sugar, salt, and pepper. Blend until well combined.
Drain the cooked green beans and toss them with the prepared dressing while they are still warm. Let the salad marinate at room temperature for at least an hour to soak up all that flavor. Serve either at room temperature or chilled, whichever you prefer!
